Defining the Rotor Winding for a Three-Phase Induction Motor

To define the rotor winding data:

  1. To open the Rotor Data Slot Properties window, double-click the Machine-Rotor-Winding entry in the Project Manager tree on the desktop. (You can also enter values in the Properties section of the desktop without opening a separate window.)
  2. Select a Bar Conductor Type for the rotor winding bar:
    1. Click the button for Bar Conductor Type.
      The Select Definition window appears.
    2. Select a conductor type from the list, or define a new conductor type.
    3. Click OK to close the Select Definition window and return to the Properties window.
  3. Enter the length of the gap between the end ring and the iron core in the End Length field. This field specifies the value for only one end of the gap, not both.
  4. Enter the end ring dimension in the axial direction in the End-Ring Width field. The end ring connects the bars of the rotor to one another.
  5. Enter the end ring dimension in the radius direction in the End-Ring Height field. The end ring’s height covers at least the cross-section of the rotor conductor.
  6. Select an End Ring Conductor Type for the rotor winding end ring:
    1. Click the button for End Ring Conductor Type.
      The Select Definition window appears.
    2. Select a conductor type from the list, or define a new conductor type.
    3. Click OK to close the Select Definition window and return to the Properties window.
  7. Click OK to close the Properties window.
